Sadly I left the cord for my camera at home so I will have to get you the zoo pictures next week. Happy Birthday Devin, I meant to send you a card a few weeks ago but I am still having a hard time of keeping track of things so I am righting more things down. Somehow Preperation day feels like the busiest day of the week and it flies by and thier is not enough time to do all the cleaning and other things that we need. Its so awesome to hear from almost everyone, its so much fun to hear from you and see how what you put reflects you and how you grow, Drew I build those snowmen, but first it needs to snow and I need to learn how to juggle. Anything exciting in the sports world, BYU, Real Madrid, Preseason ranking? Devin and Danica keep staying cute. Mom, its so much fun to learn and study more about the gospel, my problem is I keep wanting to read things like Jesus the Christ and the teaching of the Prophets before I do the studies for lessons and preach my gospel, so I need to do a better job of that. We had a zone conference this week and that was super fun, I learned lots and really want to improve our dinner lessons and conversations because I get too distracted by the food but I am working on that. I am also excited as I start working on an attitude of gratitude and so that will help me better understand and appreciate the ways things are and those things are for the best. Its always crazy for me to be in ward council and to sit next to the awesome relief society president Sister Brunsvick and to think thats what my mom is doing back home. I have enjoyed the training things the ward councils have been doing on sacrament meeting because I know I grasp only a small portion of its meaning and I sadly feel that is the same for too many people because the sacrament is so important and yet their are so many inactive people for whatever the reason but I feel that when we have gained a deeper knowledge of the sacrament then we would realize that we cannot go without it. I have been studying the teaching of Joseph Smith recently and he has said and taught so many great things. My problem is I treat them too much like books and so I read over it and miss to many things so I will have to go over it again.
What Other Missionaries Would Say About Me
They would probably say that I get off topic at times, but that I am great at planning and trying to get the most out of every day, I would also think obedient because my current companion gets annoyed with how much I talk about the rules. I would also say that I tend to follow instead of lead and I am trying to break that so much. I have had 3-4 interviews and it amazes me that whatever my concerns or questions might be, the Spirit guides him to the answers I need. I feel the great love that he has for me and that he wants whats best. I have never thought much about being a district leader but being a trainer would be interesting because I feel its every few weeks I find out about rules I have never heard about, and so I feel I would overload people with information. I would tell my brothers to start thinking about the Spirit more often, I felt I rarely did that before my mission, but that is everything here, so I wished I had been studying the Spirit more...
